Tropical Pitcher Plants -
Nepenthes. The awe inspiring
genus of plants known as
Nepenthes, grow in wet
habitats in the tropical
areas of the world. Although
all are tropical, some grow at
such elevations that night
temperatures are quite chilly.
Known as
the highland Nepenthes, most
of these occur above 1000
meters, while the steamy
jungle-loving lowland
varieties grow
below this level.
